Ezekiel 34
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
2 “Son of man, prophesy about the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy, and you shall say to the shepherds: Thus says the Lord God: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the flocks be fed by the shepherds?
E te tama a te tangata, poropititia he he mo nga hepara o Iharaira, poropititia, mea atu ki a ratou, ara ki nga hepara, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa mo nga hepara; Aue, te mate mo nga hepara o Iharaira, e whangai nei i a ratou ano! He tek a ianei me whangai te kahui e nga hepara?
3 You consumed the milk, and you covered yourselves with the wool, and you killed what was fattened. But my flock you did not feed.
E kainga ana te ngako e koutou, e kakahuria ana e koutou te huruhuru, e patua ana e koutou nga mea momona; ko nga hipi ia, kahore ratou e whangaia e koutou.
4 What was weak, you have not strengthened, and what was sick, you have not healed. What was broken, you have not bound, and what was cast aside, you have not led back again, and what was lost, you have not sought. Instead, you ruled over them with severity and with power.
Kihai i whakakahangia e koutou nga turoro, kihai nga mea mate i rongoatia e koutou, te mea i whati kihai i takaia e koutou, kihai ano i whakahokia mai e koutou te mea i aia atu, kihai i rapua te mea i ngaro; heoi he taikaha, he nanakia, ta koutou whakahaere tikanga ki a ratou.
5 And my sheep were scattered, because there was no shepherd. And they became devoured by all the wild beasts of the field, and they were dispersed.
Na marara noa atu ratou i te kore hepara: riro ana hei kai ma nga kirehe katoa o te parae, a i marara noa atu ratou.
6 My sheep have wandered to every mountain and to every exalted hill. And my flocks have been scattered across the face of the earth. And there was no one who sought them; there was no one, I say, who sought them.
I atiutiu noa atu aku hipi i runga i nga maunga katoa, i runga i nga pukepuke tiketike katoa: i marara noa atu aku hipi i runga i te mata katoa o te whenua, kahore hoki he tangata hei rapu, hei whakataki i a ratou.
7 Because of this, O shepherds, listen to the word of the Lord:
Mo reira, e nga hepara, whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa;
8 As I live, says the Lord God, since my flocks have become a prey, and my sheep have been devoured by all the wild beasts of the field, since there was no shepherd, for my shepherds did not seek my flock, but instead the shepherds fed themselves, and they did not feed my flocks:
E ora ana ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, na kua waiho nei aku hipi hei taonga parau, kua waiho ano aku hipi hei kai ma nga kirehe katoa o te parae, i te kore hepara, kihai nei hoki aku hepara i rapu i aku hipi, heoi whangaia ana ko ratou ano e nga hepara, kihai i whangai i aku hipi;
9 because of this, O shepherds, listen to the word of the Lord:
Mo reira, e nga hepara, whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa;
10 Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I myself will be over the shepherds. I will require my flock at their hand, and I will cause them to cease, so that they no longer refrain from feeding the flock. Neither will the shepherds feed themselves any more. And I will deliver my flock from their mouth; and it will no longer be food for them.
Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Hei hoariri tenei ahau mo nga hepara; a ka rapu utu ahau mo aku hipi i o ratou ringa, ka whakamutua ano e ahau ta ratou whangai hipi; e kore hoki nga hepara e whangai i a ratou ano i muri nei; a ka whakaoran gia e ahau aku hipi i roto i o ratou mangai, kei waiho hei kai ma ratou.
11 For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I myself will seek my sheep, and I myself will visit them.
Ko te kupu hoki tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Nana, ka rapu ahau, ahau tonu nei, i aku hipi, ka kimihia marietia.
12 Just as a shepherd visits his flock, in the day when he will be in the midst of his sheep that were scattered, so will I visit my sheep. And I will deliver them from all the places to which they had been scattered in the day of gloom and darkness.
Ka rite ki te kimi a te hepara i tana kahui i te ra e tae ai ia ki roto ki ana hipi kua tohatoha noa atu, ka pena ano taku kimi i aku hipi; ka whakaorangia ano ratou e ahau i nga wahi katoa i marara atu ai ratou i te ra tukupu, i te ra pouri.
13 And I will lead them away from the peoples, and I will gather them from the lands, and I will bring them into their own land. And I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, by the rivers, and in all the settlements of the land.
Ka whakaputaina ano ratou e ahau i roto i nga iwi, ka whakaminea mai i nga whenua, ka kawea hoki ki to ratou oneone; a ka whangaia ratou e ahau ki runga ki nga maunga o Iharaira, ki te taha o nga awa, ki nga wahi katoa o te whenua e nohoia ana.
14 I will feed them in very fertile pastures, and their pastures will be on the lofty mountains of Israel. There they will rest on the green grass, and they will be fed in the fat pastures, on the mountains of Israel.
Ka whangaia ratou e ahau i te wahi tarutaru pai, a hei runga i nga maunga tiketike o Iharaira he puninga mo ratou: ka takoto ratou ki reira ki te puninga pai, ka kai ano ratou i runga i nga maunga o Iharaira i nga wahi momona te tarutaru.
15 I will feed my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down, says the Lord God.
Ko ahau tonu hei whangai i aku hipi, ko ahau ano hei mea i a ratou kia takoto, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
16 I will seek what had been lost. And I will lead back again what had been cast aside. And I will bind up what had been broken. And I will strengthen what had been infirm. And I will preserve what was fat and strong. And I will feed them on judgment.
Maku e rapu te mea i ngaro, maku ano e whakahoki mai te mea i aia atu, maku e takai te mea i whati, maku ano e whakakaha te mea turoro: na, ko te mea momona, ko te mea kaha, ka ngaro i ahau; ka whangaia ratou e ahau i runga i te whakawa.
17 But as for you, O my flocks, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, among rams and among he-goats.
Na, ko koutou, e aku hipi, ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Nana, ka whakaritea e ahau te whakawa a tetahi hipi ki tetahi hipi, a nga hipi toa ano ratou ko nga koati toa.
18 Was it not enough for you to feed upon good pastures? For you even trample with your feet upon the remainder of your pastures. And when you drank the purist water, you disturbed the remainder with your feet.
He mea iti ianei ki a koutou ta koutou kai i nga wahi tarutaru pai, i takahia ai e koutou te toenga o ta koutou kai ki o koutou waewae? ta koutou inu hoki i nga wai purata, a whakapokea ake e koutou te toenga ki o koutou waewae?
19 And my sheep were pastured from what you had trampled with your feet, and they drank from what your feet had disturbed.
Na, ko aku hipi, ka kai ratou i nga takahanga a o koutou waewae, ka inu hoki i ta o koutou waewae i whakapoke ai.
20 Because of this, thus says the Lord God to you: Behold, I myself am judging between the fat cattle and the lean.
Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, ki a ratou; Nana, maku, maku tonu nei e whakarite te whakawa a te hipi momona raua ko te hipi hiroki.
21 For you have pushed with your sides and shoulders, and you have threatened all the weak cattle with your horns, until they were scattered abroad.
No te mea kua tute koutou ki o koutou kaokao, ki o koutou peke, a kua akina e koutou nga mea mate ki o koutou hoana, a marara ake ratou i a koutou ki waho noa atu;
22 I will save my flock, and it will no longer be a prey, and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
Na reira ka whakaora ahau i aku hipi; e kore ano ratou e waiho i muri nei hei pahuatanga; ka whakaritea ano e ahau te whakawa a tetahi hipi ki tetahi hipi.
23 And I will raise up over them ONE SHEPHERD, who will feed them, my servant David. He himself will feed them, and he will be their shepherd.
A ka whakaritea e ahau kotahi te hepara mo ratou, mana ratou e whangai, ara taku pononga a Rawiri; mana ratou e whangai, a ko ia hei hepara mo ratou.
24 And I, the Lord, will be their God. And my servant David will be the leader in their midst. I, the Lord, have spoken.
Ko ahau, ko Ihowa, hei Atua mo ratou, a ko taku pononga, ko Rawiri, hei rangatira i roto i a ratou; naku, na Ihowa, te kupu.
25 And I will make a covenant of peace with them. And I will cause the very harmful beasts to cease from the land. And those who are living in the desert will sleep securely in the forests.
Ka whakaritea ano e ahau he kawenata mo te rongo mau ki a ratou, ka whakamutua hoki te noho o nga kirehe kikino ki te whenua; a ka noho ratou ki te koraha, te ai he wehi, ka moe ano ki nga ngahere.
26 And I will make them a blessing all around my hill. And I will send the rain in due time; there will be showers of blessing.
A ka meinga ratou e ahau, me nga wahi ano i toku pukepuke a karapoi noa, hei manaakitanga; a ka meinga e ahau te ua kia heke iho i te wa i tika ai; a ka uaina iho nga manaaki.
27 And the tree of the field will yield its fruit, and the land will yield its crop. And they will be in their own land without fear. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have crushed the chains of their yoke, and when I will have rescued them from the hand of those who rule over them.
Na ka hua nga hua o te rakau o te parae, ka tukua mai ano ona mau e te whenua, ka noho humarie hoki ratou ki to ratou whenua; ka mohio ano ratou ko Ihowa ahau, ina motu i ahau nga here o to ratou ioka, a ka riro ratou i ahau i roto i te ringa o o ratou kaiwhakamahi.
28 And they will no longer be a prey to the Gentiles, nor will the wild beasts of the earth devour them. Instead, they will live in confidence without any terror.
A, e kore ratou e waiho i muri nei hei pahuatanga ma nga iwi, e kore hoki e kainga e te kirehe o te whenua; engari ka noho humarie ratou, te ai he kaiwhakawehi.
29 And I will raise up for them a renowned branch. And they will be no longer be diminished by famine in the land, nor will they carry any longer the reproach of the Gentiles.
A ka ara i ahau he mahuri whai ingoa ma ratou, e kore hoki ratou e riro i te hemokai i runga i te whenua, e kore ano e mau ki a ratou te numinumi i nga tauiwi a muri ake nei.
30 And they shall know that I, the Lord their God, am with them, and that they are my people, the house of Israel, says the Lord God.
Na, ka mohio ratou ko ahau, ko Ihowa, ko to ratou Atua, kei a ratou, a ko ratou, ko te whare o Iharaira, he iwi naku, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
31 For you are my flocks; the flocks of my pasture are men. And I am the Lord your God, says the Lord God.”
Na, ko koutou, ko aku hipi, ko nga hipi e whangaia ana e ahau, he tangata koutou, ko ahau hoki to koutou Atua, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
